Specialistic species will be less likely to thrive in a new environment especially if they have very specific nutritional climate. (Think panda and bamboo or koala and eucalyptus.)

Introduced generalist species that can subsist on any vegetation, (think of the

introduction of rabbits to Australia), can overrun the more specialized populations and become a pest very rapidly.

If some of the resources in a habitat are destroyed which would be more likely to survive a generalist species or a specialist species?

A generalist species would be more likely to survive because they are able to adapt to different resources and conditions. Specialist species, on the other hand, rely on specific resources and may struggle if those resources are destroyed.


Which term describes a species that has many alternate food sources and that is likely to survive in a changing environment?

Generalist species are able to consume a wide variety of food sources and adapt to various environmental changes, making them more likely to survive in a changing environment compared to specialist species.


Why are garra rufa fish illegal in Australia?

Australia does not have a good history when it comes to introduced species of any description. Any introduced species causes major issues for the native species, so strict controls need to be set up. Aquarium fish are different - few of them which may be accidentally (or on purpose) introduced into Australian waterways are likely to survive; but Garra rufa fish are hardier, and more likely to be introduced. There have been no studies on what kind of effect their introduction would have on the waterways and native species, so it is prudent to make it illegal to have them.

What exotic species might be introduced with the building of a golf course?

Exotic species that could potentially be introduced with the building of a golf course include non-native grass species for the fairways, imported trees for landscaping, and invasive plant species that may be brought in accidentally through soil or equipment transport. These introductions can disrupt the local ecosystem by outcompeting native species and altering habitat structure.
